They look groovy, man.

Those marks are from a thickness sander...and was run at an angle to the grain, not parallel...

You'll have to resand it, preferably with an orbital...180 to 220 should do fine

>>1140855
Lol. I can't decide if I like them. Planning a wood burning project for the slab so I might just leave them. It's still bothering me not knowing what they are, though.

>>1140783
Only used. Look for a decent US made Wilton.

>>1140786
It's hard to find good, old US made stuff for sell here in Europe. At least in my country we don't have many yard sales like you guys have there.

Ebay is an option but then there's import taxes that fuck good deals up-

old vises are usually solid af, if you can invest some time in refurbishing it. this one is being sold for about 90€ (which is overpriced imo)

HAHAHAHHAHAHA my god the wiring in burgerland never ceases to amaze me hahahhahah omg i'm dying over here. Who was the lunatic that though this kind of wiring is appropiate. Take a look at how we build in europe master race instead of going on with your shitty cardboard houses

HAHAHHHAHAH

Is the red switch is the disposal?
If both switches are turned on, does the disposal come on?
I
If both are yes, swap the two wires farthest to the right in the pic.
(or move the jumper to the bottom terminal)

>>1140726
The red is the disposal, correct. The disposal stays off regardless of the position of the other switch.

There are actually 4 outlets under the sink, does the disposal have to be plugged into a specific outlet?

>>1140378
Um, well the obvious thing is mining. You can use various rocks to produce cool things. Mars doesn't have an organic layer of dirt so its a lot easier to find important minerals on Mars than it is earth.

Let me give you an example.
In the game space engineers you can put a vent on your ship and then when in atmosphere it can suck in air and fill your tank.

sculpting with clay?
making clay?

No thanks.

You could make some simple gadgets with arduino boards. Pretty straightforward and not too steep learning curve.

What's the chemical difference between wipe-on polyurethane and brush-on? Can I just use paint thinner or something and get the same effect from a can of standard brush-on?

Just sanded the factory coating off my backup opinel and applied the following:

1 part pine tar
1 part turpentine
1 part boiled linseed oil

Letting it dry and we'll see how it turns out. Supposedly its supposed to be a great coating for tools and gunstocks: nonslip, waterproof and durable.

Alternately, I've heard of replacing the BLO with beeswax, and it sets up like shoe polish.

>>1140281
Yes, you can.
>>1140277
>>1140281
The dirty secret is that for the most part, brands have one oil/resin mix they use for oil-based, and one acrylic/resin mix they use for water-based, and everything else is just repackaged nonsense.

"Salad bowl finish" is the same thing as polyurethane, with different/more solvents to make it smell and feel different. Same with tabletop varnish.

Wiping varnish is just varnish with extra spirits in it. Cut poly with OMS or Naptha and you've got your own.

Some companies have a spar/marine varnish which is typically treated tung instead of linseed as a base, with a better resin. This is worth the extra dime if your project is going to be outside.

Otherwise, pick up General Finishes or Rustoleum poly. Gloss for building coats, then a final coat of whatever sheen you want.

Coats are built with gloss because varnish is naturally glossy. Like with paint, to achieve lesser sheen, dampeners are added and adhesive properties are lessened. Neither of these traits are desirable.

All poly is food safe. Raw Tung and raw linseed oil are edible, but drop to food safe when dry. Shellac is the opposite - denatured alcohol is literally poisoned grain alcohol (to get around alcohol tax). Once dry, Shellac is edible, but it's not waterproof and repairing dings is a bitch. (Really the only reason shellac is even still around is so guys can jerk off to their incorrectly applied French polishes.)

If you're going to break the bank with varnish, get Epifanes Marine Varnish. If not, General Finishes or Rustoleum poly, or Pure Tung Oil, or fuck it even BLO is nice, honestly. It gets a lot if shit BC of how cheap it is, but it does the job well.

It's a lot of fun. I've found more old fish hooks and bottle caps than anything though.

I use pic related.

>>1140266
What's a good rope that does OK with water and rubbing on concrete (given I hook something big), A 150lb magnet is pretty strong.

circuit [1] isn't that much more complicated. It just uses other parts and needs a smaler transistor to switch the mosfet also probably some filtering in there.

>>1140057
well you could do it with 1 part, put a resistor in v+

>>1140072
This. Make it a rheostat if you want speed control.

Does the scooter list how many amps the batteries have... and how long they should be able to run it? Could probably Cludge backwards from there..

55 Ah @ 24v. Range of 13 miles. It doesn't list a top speed so I am thinking 4 MPH? If that's the case 55 Ah spread over 3.25 hrs approx 17 amps. Figuring 2 of those for the complex ass lights and controls and 2 motors, 7.5 amps? Shit I have no idea if I'm even close.

>>1139892
Your best bet is to look for any identifying markings and hope you can match a part number. Motor ratings are pretty nebulous either way since they are limited by temperature.

The exact amount of current the motor will draw depends on its load, and the load it can withstand depends on the ambient temperature and how long you want it to run.

The lever cap is broken. I have a spare No. 5 cap though. Even though it's 2" wide as opposed to 2 3/8" I think the smaller cap will work just fine.

The blade and chipbreaker are just too far gone man. I ordered a Veritas replacement set from Lee Valley, made from PM-V11 steel. The cost of the blade is 4x more than the rest of the plane.

you didn't bother looking before you bought it?

I started taking it apart and started chucking the pieces in the dishwasher to get rid of all the crud on the parts. When I uncscrewed the frog I was surprised to see that the frog and plane bases were machined flat, with grooves and a step machined into them so that the two pieces make a solid fit. Much much better than the Stanleys I have. I think this plane is an ancient ripoff of the Stanley Bedrock-series plane.

from rough to finish: grinder, belt sander, file, diamond stones, sand paper, sharpening stones, lapping paper or polishing compound

This link shows you how you can build something out of wood and a few other things. First you use a file on the guide rod to get the general bevel and then you move to free hand stones or long stones to fit on this, hell I bet you can make a wood block to attach wet/dry sand paper to if you don't have stones

>>1139806
I use a bench mounted belt sander with a waterproof belt. That's like $80 on harbor freight. It's been working for 5-6 years now I think.

The wifi module is soldered onto the board and from the sounds of it you aren't skilled enough or have the tools to do it. With that being said your problem is more likely to be the antenna connection. Look for some cables in your phone. The wifi chip will usually look like a big silver-ish square made for absorbing high heat

Kieth Rucker has a pretty decent channel too, his videos are on the long side, but for watching a master machinist make and restore old shit, he makes a watchable version of a day's worth of work on parts, and even restoration of locomotives

I get the feeling I should bump this thread. Anyone here have experience making or modding RTL-SDR dongles?
